The installation consists of a video projection - clips from Judgment at Nuremberg, a 1961 American drama film - interacting with four telegraph machines. The dialogue of the characters in the film is translated in real time by early telecommunications technology.

A series of military tribunals, held by the Allied forces after the end of World War II - and most notable for the prosecution of p﻿rominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany - the Nuremberg Trials were an early experiment in simultaneous translation. The court congregated an ample number of translators, interpreters, and stenographers, for each of the four languages spoken during the trial: English, Russian, French and German.
